I also am not reducing the star rating as, for the price, there was no "better" alternative that I could find, at least not from a trustworthy brand - I have owned TP-Link products for over a decade and always found them reasonable quality (apparently they're one of the few manufacturers who continue to make everything in house instead of rebranding other manufacturers equipment). The cable supplied may be a little short for some setups. I have a relatively small desk and it is located toward the front at the side of the desk. The desktop PC it is plugged into is below it, the cable running around the back of the desk. It is long enough for this to be comfortable, but if the computer was the opposite side, I would require a longer cable. The power cable does not suffer this issue. This is a powered device but also has a separate on/off function which activates/deactivates the entire unit. I am not an electrical engineer but when powered off, this disables all functionality. It might be preferable to have a port or two still run from the host USB power alone. In addition, this means it is an extra device to power on and off with the PC as there appears to be no auto-power function. The manual seems to suggest that it can be powered from USB alone but that this will disable the charge ports, I am also uncertain if this could power higher demand devices from the ports alone - without the separate power adapter I do not think enough is supplied for my phone data transfer, a slimline bluray drive and a card reader to be reliable but I have not tested the limits, only noticed the LEDs seemed to blink. The charge ports do not provide any data passthrough, they are purely charger ports. It does also provide limited charging with the data ports, but at a slower rate. I would personally prefer they paired the charge ports with data. It is too light. This might be a ridiculous complaint to some but as I intend to have this on my desk, permanently, I would like it to feel more securely in place. Thick USB 3.0 cables being moved will also move the hub. The plastic is shiny piano black which attracts finger prints and dust immediately. A matt option would likely have been better for me, but would also look less attractive. The positives are that it looks professional, feels well made and is very small and relatively inconspicuous. The cables attached are more of an aesthetic issue than the device itself. It seems to be very fast when powered - my USB devices are detected in windows faster than if plugged directly into the motherboard and significantly faster than when plugged into the front IO on the desktop machine. It has small LEDs to show when devices are plugged in and active. These are bright and obvious, but small enough not to be annoying in a dark room. They also slightly illuminate the actual USB port, though this does not seem to be by design as there is some crossover to the ports either side. Regardless, I prefer this subtle little quirk to not having anything. Overall I give it 5 stars despite my complaints. Fundamentally it does exactly what it's designed to do and looks reasonably nice. I could have spent more to address most of my complaints, or less for a less reputable brand, but this fit a good balance and solved my issues with insufficient front IO without being inconvenient. Review: Excelent range of decent spec'd ports and good build quality - So far, this seems to be a a good quality and decent value for money item. It has a excellent range of ports, including 3x USB-A (most other compact, multi-port, devices seem to only have 2), along with HDMI 4K 60Hz (some other hubs still seem to only have 4K 30Hz). I could not see many devices with such a range of ports at a decent price. I have tried all 3 usb-a ports, the usb-c, and the HDMI ports - and all work without issue on the MacBook Air I use, along with a Acer monitor with a HDMI connection. The device feels well made, with the main case being made of aluminium alloy. It has a robust feeling, thick braded USB-C lead to connect the hub to your laptop. The device does get a bit warm in use, possibly linked to the aluminium case, but I place it on a desk, as I suspect most people would, so I don't see this as a issue. A nice small touch is that there is a slot to store the USB-C connection that you use to plug the device into your laptop, when not in use, so it remains tidy/free of dirt in your bag. ## Features - Faster Speed with USB 3.0: USB 3.0 ports offer transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps, 10 times faster than USB 2.0. This 7-port USB 3.0 data hub can instantly expand 1 USB 3.0 port to 7 external USB 3.0 data ports for keyboard, mouse, printer, hard drivers and other USB devices. - Smart Charging Ports: 2 Extra 5V/2.4A charging ports supporting 2.4A output specially designed for ultra fast charging.

A built-in surge protector keeps both your devices and your data safe in the data transfer process. - UH720 supports hot-swap USB ports that can be safely connected and disconnected while the computer is on and running. - Plug and play: No drivers required for Windows 8.1 / 8/7 / Vista / XP or Mac OS X and Linux systems.

It means I can now charge devices that don't have data transfer features. I have some devices (battery chargers, quad copters, other devices with internal batteries) which when plugged into USB data transfer ports cause an error and a beep from the computer that persists every 2 seconds. With these charge-only ports I can now charge any device at my computer desk. **Q: what are the dimensions of the box itself and how long is the power cord?** A: The size of packing is 4.33 x 3.39 x 8.23 (inches), the size of product is 2.58 x 0.69 x 6.50 (inches), the data cord is 40 inches long, and the power cord is around 60 inches long **Q: Can USB 2 connections be used with this?** A: Yes it’s backward compatible **Q: Does the adapter or the hub make noise when no using all the inputs ? (than happen which one of mine)** A: Everything about mine is absolutely silent regardless of if no ports, some port or all ports are occupied. This should not make noise. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, professional and reliable at a good price. *by L***S on 27 March 2024* I will state the "bad" points first but would also like to clarify these are minor annoyances, some by my specific preferences and usage and will not apply to many.

Its helped clear a bunch of clutter on my desk and it looks aesthetically pleasing. It connects perfectly with my laptop and it has no stutters and its completely stable. Installation was easy too with only having to plug in 2 things. It stays stable whilst I have a lot of things plugged in and that helps when im using tjings like my controller and keyboard and mouse so it fits for me. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link Powered USB Hub 3.0 with 7 USB 3.0 Data Ports and 2 Smart Charging USB Ports.
